This is done to aid evaluation of legality and sustainability issues relevant to a variety of stakeholders; and specifically to support stakeholders in the Malaysian timber sector itself in moving towards ensuring timber legality and sustainability . This will allow industry stakeholders to focus on addressing the most pertinent issues and communicate their legality and sustainability achievements, to obtain ethical investment and trade.
